Your letter dated March 27, has been received by our beloved
Guardian, as well as the report of the activities of your Assembly,
and he thanks you for sending him this information.

He, likewise, wishes to thank Mr. Adolf Lorey for his letter to
him of July 30, enclosing a newspaper clipping concerning Sohrab.

He feels your Assembly, wisely and lovingly, must guide the
friends to a firmer grasp of both the independent nature of our
glorious Faith and the need to study and uphold its Administrative
Order.

To continue to be a member of the church places a Bahá’í in an
insincere position—for we believe the Christ has come again, in
Bahá’u’lláh, and that all His promises have been gloriously fulfilled.
No church would tolerate one of its members believing
such a thing, for the church is still blindly waiting the second
coming. Therefore it is obvious why the Bahá’ís must leave the
church, they are not leaving Christ, but rather rallying to His
support in the new day of His coming.

Also, he feels your Assembly should obey and work with the
National Assembly in the greatest love and harmony. The past
must be forgotten, and all the believers concentrate, unitedly on
the spread of the Faith and strengthening its administration.

He will pray for you all, and for the success of your work.
With Bahá’í love
